Did Jesus celebrate Passover before He died? And what really happened to the people who rose from the dead at the Crucifixion?
In this Ask A Priest episode, Father Tim tackles two fascinating and often overlooked questions from Scripture. Drawing from Pope Benedict XVI and the Gospel of John, he explains how Jesus anticipated the Passover meal, and how His death perfectly aligns with the sacrifice of the Passover lamb.
He also dives into one of the most mysterious moments in the Bible: the dead rising when Jesus died. Did they return to their families or rise to eternal life with Him?
If you’ve ever had questions about these powerful moments in the Gospel, this episode brings clarity, depth, and wonder to the story of salvation.
